7 Books to Get Your Life Together as School Starts Again

That back-to-school energy is in the air. Even as we soak up the last rays of summer sunshine this month, kids are heading back to school or will be soon. Here are 7 of my all-time favorite books for this season of life - they will support you to get the routines, habits, and mindsets you need for a great fall!

  • Declutter Like a Mother: If you want to get your home to be more like a sanctuary for your family and less like a stressful set of stacks of clutter, this is a great book for you. (Amazon | Bookshop | Indiebound)

  • How To Raise An Intuitive Eater: I loved this book about how to support kids to learn to trust their bodies and become intuitive eaters. It required a lot of mindset changes for me, but I am committed to doing the work to raise my kids with healthier views of food and health than I am living with myself. (Amazon | Bookshop | Indiebound)

  • Year Of Yes: I loved this book so much! It's funny, inspiring, and an easy read. If you want to live more of the life you want to live, you deserve this book. Promise you'll love it too. (Amazon | Bookshop | Indiebound)

  • The Art Of Gathering: Maybe this year you want to build your community more - if so, this is a great book for thinking about how to bring people together intentionally. (Amazon | Bookshop | Indiebound)

  • Do Less: This book is a game-changer for all women - it helps us understand how our bodies operate cyclically and that we can work with (not against) those cycles to do less while achieving more. (Amazon | Bookshop | Indiebound)

  • Atomic Habits: Tackling the crisis of U.S. immigration policy from a deeply human angle, this novel follows a Mexican-American family in Brownsville, Texas. (Amazon | Bookshop | Indiebound)

  • The Lazy Genius Way: The world sends us lots of messages about how we should do things. There are ways you can break out of this routine and feel great about your choices. The Lazy Genius Way offers thirteen principles that help us make decisions to be a genius about what matters to us and lazy about what doesn't matter to us. The 13 principles, including the few below, have been game-changing for me, and I couldn't recommend this book more. - Decide once - Start small - Ask the Magic Question - Go in the right order - Schedule rest.
